flag Hampshire's 2025 local elections won’t be delayed; the 2026 mayoral vote stands, with no change planned.

flag Hampshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner Donna Jones has rejected reports of a second delay to local elections, calling it unacceptable and undermining democracy. flag She stated the 2025 delay was justified only because devolution efforts were ongoing—now complete—and emphasized residents’ right to vote. flag The May 2026 mayoral election for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight remains unchanged, with no support for delay from Hampshire County Council’s leader. flag Any future postponement would require new primary legislation, passing both Houses of Parliament. flag The elected mayor will lead a Combined Authority with powers over transport, housing, skills, regeneration, environment, and public safety.
